Elected Officer Positions

The four elected leadership positions in SWE Austin are the voting officers of the section. These leaders are responsible for guiding the section throughout the year, ensuring that the section is executing according to the SWE guidelines and the section charter, communicating with membership, as well as managing and distributing funds.  Biographies for our current elected leadership can be found here.

Participation as a SWE Austin officer is an opportunity to develop leadership and communication skills as well as to learn more about the section and SWE operations.
